Woher kommt das Wort word?

Der Ursprung des Wortes "word" liegt in den altenglischen und germanischen Wurzeln. Das moderne englische Wort "word" leitet sich vom altenglischen Wort "word" ab, das auch die Quelle des deutschen Wortes „Wort“ ist. Dieses altenglische Wort stammt vermutlich vom protogermanischen Wort „*wurda-“, das auch die Quelle des gotischen Wortes „waurd“ war. Das protogermanische Wort stammt vermutlich von der protoindoeuropäischen Wurzel „*wer-“, die „sprechen“ oder „sagen“ bedeutete. Das altenglische Wort "word" bedeutete ursprünglich „gesprochener Gedanke“ oder "utterance", und seine Bedeutung wurde allmählich erweitert, um auch die geschriebene Sprache einzuschließen. Im Laufe seiner Geschichte hat das Wort "word" seine Kernbedeutung beibehalten, aber seine Konnotationen und Verwendungen haben sich so weiterentwickelt, dass sie im modernen Englisch eine breite Palette von Bedeutungen und Kontexten abdecken.
